Dog Bite

Each city or town in the State of Rhode Island has strict leash laws in place. If you, your child or dog are attacked by an unleashed dog, the dog owner's violation of their city or town's leash law is negligence per se and an actionable offense. Additionally, the Rhode Island Supreme Court has held that dog owners are strictly liable for any attack by their dog upon a person or pet when the dog is out of his or her enclosure. Veterinary bills are expensive and scars can be permanent so don't act alone. Hire one of our experienced Attorneys to help get you the compensation that you deserve. No fee unless successful so let us fight to protect your right to walk the street without fear of being attacked.
